The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
“In the few years since NICTA was established in 2002, we
have developed this impressive selection of open source releases
including the breakthrough OKL4 embedded hypervisor, the CAmkES runtime
framework solution for software developers to build microkernel-based
operating systems quickly and reliably, and the Armadillo C++ linear
algebra library.”
Nicol says he is “really proud of each of these
releases and the talented teams of researchers who developed them,” and
lists the NICTA researchers and the software they developed. See for
yourself:
• Conrad Sanderson and Armadillo Library, a C++ linear algebra library using matrix and vector maths
• Peter Chubb and Articulate, an add-on to Lilypond software that
converts Lilypond input so that MIDI output more closely resembles
a human player. Lilypond is an open source software project that takes
a language that describes music and converts it into typeset music
• Gernot Heiser and OKL4, a microkernel-based virtualisation solution for embedded systems
• Renato Ianella and CAIRNS, a demonstrator of technologies used to
construct an interoperable Crisis Information Management System
Architecture and an ODRL Microformat Plugin that detects ODRL
microformats on a web page and indicates this to the user
• Ihor Kuz and CAmkES, a software development and runtime framework
that reliably and quickly build microkernel-based multiserver
operating systems
• Athanassios Boulis and Castalia, a simulator for low-power embedded devices
• Olivier Mehani and Freeze-TCP module for ns-2, a module that adds support for Freeze-TCP
• Ralph Becket and MiniZinc, a modelling language which can express
most constraint programming problems easily, but can also be mapped
onto existing solvers easily and consistently
• Christopher Leckie and NOSA, a reusable, scalable, extensible, and
interoperable service oriented Sensor Web architecture
• Lars Petersson and Pedestrian Dataset, a dataset containing 25551
unique pedestrians, allowing for a dataset of over 50K images with
mirroring.
